John Grisham’s best

Revisado: 03-09-23

This is John Grisham’s best book (and I’ve read them all). Deeply moving, poignant, and full of the ups and downs. Highly recommend.

Excellent read

Revisado: 01-12-23

The character development in this book is some of the best of Grisham’s career (aside from Jake Brigance and his folks obviously). This is a riveting story and though it spans decades and is hours long, it grabs your attention and won’t let go.

Excellent

Revisado: 09-16-22

An excellent and psychological read. I think the negative reviews were because the readers don’t like to be disturbed. There are some subjects that some feel are off limits—many of which arise in this book. The story is excellent and compelling. I think reader sensitivities are the reason they didn’t care for the book. So, if you can handle some seriously disturbed subject matters, do yourself a favor and spend the credit on this one.

The best of the series

This is the best of the series. The twists and turns are riveting. Highly recommend (but read the others first!)

Excellent book but ending sputtered

Revisado: 03-17-22

This book solidly kept my attention the entire time. It is truly binge worthy. The author is a wonderful storyteller and the characters have such depth. I wish the ending had been better. Or maybe different. It just felt like a slow fizzle after expecting a huge climax like the book had provided throughout the story. All in all, excellent book. Definitely will read more from this author.

Back on track

Much better than the last book! Still not fond of the narrator but the story of the witches is back in line with prior books.

Almost Unbearable Narration

Revisado: 02-08-22

The narration is terrible. The “southern”accents are painful. If a book has southern characters, please please please get a southern narrator. The narrator’s different inflections for the different characters are eye rolling. The women sound like children and the children sound like robots. The story was okay but I would be curious to know how many times the phrase so and so “said” is used. It may not be so bad reading the book but listening to it is distracting and takes away from the story. Hopefully the next story is better and the narrator is different. I’ve become invested in this series.

Laborious

Revisado: 01-13-22

I love Darcy Coates. She is an excellent author. But this book missed the mark. This would have been a great novella. The inner monologue is the main character makes up almost the entirety of the book and drones on for far too long. The story has large gaps that never come together. I almost stopped this one multiple times but kept going back hoping there would be a big payoff. There wasn’t. The last 2 chapters are good but the buildup was tedious and felt like work. Skip this book. Hoping her next book is back up to par.

Never have I ever

Revisado: 11-19-21

Never have I ever read a book like this. I am a trial lawyer and it is SUPERB. I saw the comments about the narration and there is nothing wrong with it IMO. And I’m picky about narrators. This book is terrific.

Narration not a problem

Revisado: 11-02-21

The narration was not an issue for me. I have listened to FAAAARRRRR worse. The story’s ending was unsatisfying but the read was classic Grisham. Recommended.
